Violence is all around us-war, terrorism, street crime, child abuse. Children are bombarded by violent TV shows, movies, and music. Parents fear for the safety of their families, and are alarmed when they see their own children acting out in aggressive ways. They wonder, "How can we raise our children to live according to our best spiritual values?" As a family counselor and leader of workshops on raising nonviolent children, Michael Obsatz has identified twenty-one skills that parents and children can learn together for self-protection and for relating to others in loving ways. Each short chapter includes advice for parents, a word to children, and a variety of interactive activities by which families can practice these important skills and learn to live as peacemakers in God's world.
